We first met on here back in 2006, but it didn't work out at that time. I sent him a message after noticing him back on here in September 2011. He drove the two hours to come and see me a couple of weeks later, and we have been together since. We still live two hours apart, but he has now decided that as soon as he can get a transfer from work here that he will come and live with me. I can now not imagine my life without him. I have never been so happy in my entire life. I would have never met him if it wasn't for this site, thank you so much!!

I found this site in 2006, and was on and off of here for some. I really did not see myself actually meeting someone off of here that i would fall in love with. But i really did. It was discouraging at times, but don't give up, you never know!!

I sent a message to James on October 2, 2012. He FINALLY messaged me back on Oct 22. (I still tease him about this)
I had started talking to someone else, but he stuck around and we texted consistently for two months as friends. He texted me get well texts and asked how I was doing when I was very sick in the hospital. Then, when we both were free from ties to other people, on Nov 3 (my birthday), I sent him a text message from my hospital bed saying I was interested in talking on the phone and meeting. That started a month of 4-6 hour phone calls several nights a week. I knew it was something special even then. He says he fell in love with me over the phone.

Because of our lack of money, we couldn't meet right away, but finally on Dec 15, 2012, when I had scrounged up some extra money for gas, I drove an hour to go see him.

I arrived at his house with a case of beer and an anxious heart. I saw him outside of his house and when I called his name and he turned aro...

I arrived at his house with a case of beer and an anxious heart. I saw him outside of his house and when I called his name and he turned around, I got this wonderful feeling! We hugged and went inside.

We sat and watched cartoons (our favorite pass time) and talked for a couple hours. We sat a few foot apart, sitting on our hands and blushing like middle school crushes.
Finally, after a couple bottles of Budweiser, I took advantage of my dutch courage and leaned onto his shoulder. We shared our first kiss right after that.

After a painfully long week apart, on December 22, he drove to my house for Christmas weekend. The next night, he took my face in his hands and told me he loved me. He loved me before we met, and he knew he'd love me forever. He went home Christmas night to spend a few days with his family for the holiday, but he was back in 3 days to spend New Years weekend with me. He decided to stay.

Since then we've had our very own fairy tale. We fell in love with each others families, and even more with each other.

My past marriage, and his past hurts have really made us into who we are today and because of those, we fit perfectly together. We've been able to sit and let go of some hurt we'd never been able to before and we bring out the best in eachother!

On top of that, we simply have so much fun together. I feel like we've been best friends for years! Everyday is full of laughter.

Our future looks bright. He, a disabled veteran, has one more year left to finish in his CAD Tech program in college. He is unable to work most jobs, so money is tight, but we're making it.

We're waiting on wedding bells and babies until he gets his damaged hips repaired and we're financially stable. But we're dreaming of our future, and hope to open a business together someday.

We often say, "I'm so glad I got herpes!" with a chuckle.
We wouldn't have found each other without HV1, OR Positive Singles.
Thank you PS for taking something we'd considered a "curse" and helped us realize it's a BLESSING!!

I didn't get many responses to emails. Keep trying, and don't take it as rejection. Just send more messages!

We all have baggage. The key is finding someone whose baggage is compatible with yours.

My name is Whitney and my boyfriends name is Josh. I found out about my HPV about a year ago. I was really down on myself but knew other people had to be going through the same thing so when i googled dating with HPV I found this sight. Josh first emailed me on February 11, 2012. I didnt think much of it but we continued to email. Eventually I gave him my phone number. He texted me for the first time on 2/14/2012 and we started to get to know eachother really well. It wasnt very long until we started to really like eachother. We ran into a few problems though, for one he was stationed in Virginia (originally from Tennessee) and i was in Vegas, complete opposite sides of the country. Second, he was in the military and getting ready to be deployed in a couple weeks. We talked as much as we could before he left and stayed in touch by email when he was gone. We sort of lost touch about the beginning-Middle of summer. One day around the end of July he happened to come across my mind. We had...

We sort of lost touch about the beginning-Middle of summer. One day around the end of July he happened to come across my mind. We hadnt talked in a few months so i was a little nervous to text him. I sent him a text and before you know it we were talking just like we used to, that connection was still there. He had gotten out of the military over the summer after serving his 4 years and was now living in Texas with some friends. A few weeks of talking went by when i decided it was time to meet. I asked him if i arranged for him to fly out here and stay with me would he be up for it. He said yes and so i booked the flight. I was really nervous because i had never met this person in my life and he was about to come and stay in my 1 bedroom apartment with me. His flight got in 8/17/2012 right after i got off work i went strait to the airport to pick him up and i had never been so nervous in my entire life. After what felt like hours of anxiously waiting to catch a glance at him i saw him walking towards me. It was like a scene from a movie to me lol he grabbed me and picked me up in a hug and then put me down and kissed me...from then on evrything was perfect. We went to dinner the next night and that is when he officially asked me to be his girlfriend 8/18/2012. When he had to leave we were both pretty bummed. I immediatley got on the compter and booked my flight to go staywith him in texas. That weekend went even better then the first! Leaving was twice as hard though...lots of tears. We started talking about him moving here and i never thought he actually would. I was one week away from going back to texas to surprise him with a visit when he called me and told me he had a surprise for me....He was moving out here and he was starting his drive that friday. I was ecstatic! He was officially moved in 10/1/2012. We have been together 6 months now and on valentines day it will be a year ago that we started talking. We have had our ups and downs but we are still going pretty strong. Never did i ever think that testing out this sight would lead to all of this.

When you feel like your in a bad sistuation and you get down on yourself, always know that there are other people out there going throught the same or similar situations. Your not alone.

We met in August of 2009 for coffee. We didn't hit it off right away. As a matter of fact, we both ended up going on to date other people. Over the next two years our friendship grew quite a bit and we leaned on each other through some life changes and other difficult relationships. In mid 2011 we started falling back together. Here we are, a year and a half later. Today we both officially deleted our accounts. That's what WE call a big step. No matter where this road leads us, I can confidently say I found my best friend.

Not every first date is magical. Sometimes you have to kiss a few frogs before you realize you already kissed the frog you want to keep kissing.

I was really excited to find this site, except I was never good at talking to more than one person. But I made myself get on here and actually look around and give people a chance that I wouldn't be able to find on my own. After a failed first try, and a few dates with a very nice guy that I just didn't click with, I received an e-mail from Jon. He lived all the way in Georgia and I'm in Oklahoma City, which proceeded to make me think of every reason there would be no point in meeting him. But after a discussion with a friend, I decided to at least meet up with him over the holidays, give it a shot though I was 100% doubtful we would connect and I would ever see him again.
The instant he walked into the restaurant on our first meeting, my negativeness was taken down a notch. I thought the conversation might be difficult since we never spoke previously through e-mails to get to know each other, unlike prior dates I had been on. But our ideas and likes/dislikes and laughter came wit...

I thought the conversation might be difficult since we never spoke previously through e-mails to get to know each other, unlike prior dates I had been on. But our ideas and likes/dislikes and laughter came within seconds. Later, he talked me into meeting his sister and her friend at Groovys. I mainly went quite apprehensively and only because there is a confetti cannon. But by the end of the night, my cheeks were hurting from laughing so much. I have never in my pre-hsv years dated a man willing to dance to Footloose in private, let alone public around me. I was amazed and I still am. He continues to prove my negative nature wrong and surprises me even from a few states away. We will continue to see each other monthly, due to our jobs moving is currently difficult but is planned for the future.

Dating is difficult, and don't settle - ever! You know what you want and don't be afraid to ask for or demand it. That person is out there, and with everything that everyone on this site has been through, there is no point in hiding what you're looking for. Don't lie to yourself or others, people who are looking for something real, want someone genuine. You'll never find what you're looking for if you aren't honest about what you want.
